借物抒情:老師的手絹-My Teachers Handkerchief

老師的手絹

【內容提示】

現在你是高中生。在你上國小時有一位姓林的女老師教過你。至今你還保存著她的一塊手絹。你一看到手絹就會想起二、三件事。

①一天,老師發下來數學考卷,你一看成績不好就哭了。林老師用手絹給你擦眼淚,鼓勵你努力學習,並給你講解卷面錯誤所在。

②在一次運動會上,你讓石頭絆倒了。血不住地從頭上往外滲。林老師急忙掏出手絹給你包紮了傷口。

去年,你和國小同學去看林老師,向她要了一塊手絹作為永久的留念。

作文示範】

My Teacher's Handkerchief

I preserve① a handkerchief. It looks very ordinary but it's quite special to me. Every time I look at it, the kind face of Ms. Lin, my primary school teacher, appears before my eyes. The sight of the handkerchief 6 recalls my primary school days.

One morning I received my maths test paper. When I saw that I had got only 68 marks, I couldn't help crying. Ms. Lin, who had entered the classroom at that moment, took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from my face. “Don't be depressed②,” she said. “You'll he able to catch up with your classmates.” Then she began to explain my mistakes.

Another time, during a sports meet, I was so careless that I tripped③ over a stone and fell. Blood kept oozing④ out of my head. My classmates were so frightened that they did not know what to do. Just then, Ms. Lin hurried up to me. She took out her handkerchief, dressed my wound and sent me to the hospital.

All these happened a long time ago. Now I am a senior middle school student. Last year, I went to visit Ms. Lin with some of my primary school classmates. I asked for her handkerchief and she gave it to me. To me, it is dearer than anything else in the world. It fully shows a teacher's love for her students. It encourages me to work hard and study well. I will keep this handkerchief forever.
